Our mission: give every creator — from zero subscribers to millions of views — an honest, clear picture of what their content could earn.
Why we built this
If you've ever Googled "how much does YouTube pay per 1000 views" — you've probably found wildly different answers. Some say $1. Some say $10. Nobody explains why it varies or how your niche, your audience location, and your platform choice all change the number dramatically.
CreatorsPaycheck was built to fix that. We wanted one tool that gives creators a realistic, niche-specific, location-aware estimate — not a generic average that applies to nobody in particular.
Whether you're a finance creator in the US earning $18 RPM or a gaming creator with a Tier 3 audience earning $1 RPM — your numbers are different, and you deserve to know yours.
What makes us different
Most earnings calculators online only cover YouTube AdSense and use outdated data. We cover 7 platforms with real 2026 RPM rates:
Our data
All RPM figures are based on 2026 creator reports, industry studies, and platform disclosures. We update our data regularly to keep estimates as accurate as possible.
We account for the four major factors that affect your real earnings: your niche (finance pays 6× more than entertainment), your audience country (US/UK pays 4–10× more than Tier 3 regions), your platform, and for YouTube, your video length.
Our estimates are ranges — not guarantees. Real earnings vary based on engagement, seasonality, and advertiser demand. Think of CreatorsPaycheck as your most informed starting point.
